Elvie’s Floral Preservation & Design

You know when something turns out just perfect and you love it so much?

That’s how I felt about Alexis’ bouquet. All the way from Cuba and her preservation is almost identical to her fresh blooms.

Swipe for the before and see for yourself! 👀

Pull out that old dusty air-dried bouquet and give it new life in the form of a masterpiece!

You saved your flowers for a reason, because they hold so many special memories for you. Why hide them in a box forever?! Let’s give them the attention they deserve so you can proudly display them in your home.

Julia’s air-dried bouquet was perfectly transformed and returned just in time for their 5yr wedding anniversary!

Earlier in 2025 my husband released from the Canadian Armed Forces. This has been a few years in the making as he tried to transfer trades but was consistently unable to due to his current trade being in high demand.

We spent many months praying about this decision and trusting God’s plan for our lives.

Last week my husband accepted a job offer with a posting to Frontenac, Ontario (approx. 3hrs from Petawawa). This means that our family, as well as Elvie’s, will be moving late spring/early summer of this year.

If you are currently a client of ours and your flowers are in our care, we will be ensuring your bouquet is completed and returned to you before our move.

If you are a client that has pre-booked for your 2025 date, you will have received an email from us with more information. If you do not see this email, please reach out.

At this time, we have decided to pause accepting new orders as we make this move and resettle our family.

If you have any questions at any time, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We want to make this the smoothest process for everyone. We understand that your special flowers are incredibly important so we want you to be in control of the process for your bouquet.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone here for your support of my art. I love what I do and it is all because of you. We are so excited for this next adventure!

Where did spring go?! 😔

As much as I love a good snowfall (in December), I’m ready for spring! Spring weather, spring weddings, spring bouquets! If you’re considering preserving your bouquet this spring, book now to ensure you secure your date as we can only accept a limited number of bouquets each weekend.

Tori-Lynne’s stunning all white blooms are home! I’ll never tire of the pop a dark frame gives white flowers. 😍

The most important step in bouquet preservation is how you care for your bouquet!

Preservationists can do a great many things to ensure your blooms look beautiful forever. But you have the best chance at impacting the final result.

Flowers that have been bumped, exposed to harsh weather conditions, or left thirsty may look ok at drop-off but very quickly start to deteriorate. If your preservation results are important to you, here’s what you can do to help:

🌸 Keep your flowers in fresh water. Trim the stems about an inch to ensure your blooms are able to drink up!

🌸 Protect your bouquet from bumps & bruising. Opt for a toss bouquet or throw a bridesmaid’s bouquet instead!

🌸 Cover your blooms when in harsh heat or cold weather as much as possible.

🌸 Bring your blooms to us as soon as possible! The fresher your flowers are when we receive them, the better your preservation results will be!

Felicity’s bouquet is proof that an air-dried bouquet can still look incredible.

If you’re on a budget and looking for a more cost-effective way to preserve your blooms, we can expertly air-dry, design and frame them so they’ll look this good forever!

No more dusty wrinkly flower petals. Let’s make art with your special blooms!

Probably the most common thing we hear as preservationists is “I wish I knew about this when I got married!”

And we get it. That’s why we do what we do. Because your bouquet holds so many special memories that of course you’d want to keep it forever. That’s why we want to tell everyone!

So if you’re in the “I wish I knew..” boat, check this out. Our years of experience working with fresh flowers gives us an incredible edge when it comes to recreation. Give us a picture of your bouquet and we’ll source, recreate & preserve your blooms so you can join the “I’m so glad we did this” boat!

Kelsey’s bouquet was full of so many gorgeous unique blooms. Those protea, leucadendron, & amaranthus were so much fun to work with! Acanthus Floral & Botanicals ltd. does absolutely incredible work.

Kelsey wanted to include her husband’s boutonniere in her preservation as well, but she wanted it to be subtle. So we worked it into the design of her bouquet. Can you spot it?

At the start of 2025, Honeybook, the company we use for our booking files, announced that they were raising their prices. I did some research and decided that our next best move would be to invest our time and money into a website. So after a few months of working with HER SOUL Social Media & Marketing Agency, we are so excited to launch our site! Stay tuned for the official release date this week!

Any future inquires & booking can all be done through our website. As of March 4th, we will no longer be using Honeybook. If you’ve already booked through our current forms and you’d like a copy of your contract, we have paper copies and would gladly send it to you. Just shoot us an email!

If you’re currently in the inquiry process and you decided you’d like to proceed with booking but haven’t yet, please reach out via email or place an order through our site once it’s live!

As always, if you have any questions about anything, please reach out!
